The World’s Best
Rums for 2016 were recently announced and shockingly no Caribbean rum made the
winners’ list. The best rum for 2016,
just announced last week by The 2016 World Rum Awards, went to an Australian
company you may not have heard of. Bundaberg
Rum Master Distillers’ Collection – Blenders Edition 2015 was named “World’s
Best Rum 2016.” It is produced by the Bundaberg Distilling Company and has a
“polished oak notes, rich fruit cake and treacle aromas.” Bundaberg Rum also was named Best Dark Rum
for 2016 while the distillery also took home the title of “Best Gold Rum 2016”
for its Bundaberg Rum Master Distillers’ Collection Small Batch.

Meanwhile, the “Best
Flavored Rum 2016” honor went to Spirits of Old Man Rum Project One, produced
by a German company named Spirits of Old Man GmbH Germany while the “Best
Overproof Rum 2016” went to the St Vincent Distillers Sunset Very Strong Rum. But don’t be fooled by the name – the
producers are Sunset Rum UK and not from the island of St. Vincent & the
Grenadines.

The “Best Spiced Rum
2016” award went to Bayou Spiced, produced by Louisiana Spirits LLC of the USA
which also took the award for “Best White Rum 2016” for its Bayou Silver.

The Awards are part of the World Drinks Awards program, launched
in 2007 with the World Whiskies Awards and World Beer Awards. Presented
by TheDrinksReport.com . The World Rum Awards
selects, rewards and promotes the best Rum Taste and Design to consumers and
trade across the globe.
